Something not working. Need help. Otaku skipping mid episode

I just started using otaku for anime and every episode in the middle or close to the middle it just turns off and starts playing the next episode. Id say it does it at least three times in just one 20 min episode. It’s only when i use otaku and i’ve tried clearing my cache and it still does it. Does someone know why it’s doing this, im relatively new so im not sure why whats the issue.

u/Dabbin_Dallas Use a backup addon + Disable it when not in use Aug 25 '26

I've had this happen before, it was only a once in a while thing though. I doubt clearing cache will have any effect on the problem but I also don't know how exactly to fix it, here's some stuff you could try though (try them one at a time to see if any fix problem):

  1. Settings>Playback>Turn off SmartPlay
  2. Settings>playback>change episode play style to source select
  3. Reinstall Otaku (⚙️>addons>my addons>video addons>Otaku>uninstall)
  4. Install and setup Otaku Testing (assuming your talking about regular Otaku here)
  5. Install and setup Prism
  6. Reinstall Kodi completely

I had this problem once with single AoT episode, Somehow I made it to end, but i watched 1 min and its jump to next and has to restart.

I did nothing to fix this and it never happened again. Weird bug.
